I wonder--is Bush boy baiting Israel to make the first strike towards Iran to make it look like they started it instead of the US govt?? Are they pushing up the gas prices to match that of other countries??

What a mess the One World Leader is going to have to clean up when he comes on the scene...

Seymour Hersh is right,in his interview on DEMOCRACY NOW this a.m. when he says that 'BIN' Bush is probably the most radical President ever in the U.S.
Of course,it doesn't help that,if you combine that radicalism with complete DENIAL of actual fact, we also have a very DANGEROUS President in Bush and an EVEN MORE DANGEROUS man,right alongside him,in the mortal form of Dick Cheney who,as Hersh believes(and I do too)is really the power on 'the throne' and Bush his court jester! Especially when you consider the UNAMERICAN advisory thugs that Cheney has by HIS side in the 'shadow'cabinet!
I have read Hersh's latest article in 'The New Yorker', re: the Bush/Cheney relentless focus on Iran(probably the MAIN REASON they invaded Iraq in the beginning) and have to say that Congress's 'gang of 8'(Senate and House),including Pelosi,Reid,Rock-o'fella etc have made themselves WEAKLY complicit in ANY OFFENSIVE/MILITARY ACTION this LUNATIC,RADICAL,TUNNEL-VISIONED White House administration may,AND ARE DETERMINED TO,inflict on Iran between now and the next Presidential inaugeration.
I have great respect for the Admirals/Generals of our U.S. armed forces who REFUSE to comply with the madness of 'Prince' George,and 'KING' Cheney,including Admiral Fallon who had the intelligence,rationality and professional integrity and personal balls to say "No", and step down because HE KNEW THAT WHAT WAS BEING PLANNED SECRETLY on Iran in a very UNAMERICAN White House,was unethical and immoral and TOTALLY outside the International Laws/Rules of Military Engagement.
Bush and Cheney et al have ALREADY placed our troops in a s***-pit of controversy by ignoring the Geneva Conventions and how enemy combatants,POW's should be treated. The overall image and self-esteem of our military is at an ALL-TIME low!
And all because of the LUNATIC and incompetant decisions of our "Commander" in Chief and his White House cronies.
All the disgusting mess of the last 8 years starts at the White House and has filtered DOWN! No doubt!
I can only hope that Seymour Hersh's article with all its facts will shake up some of the rest of Congress to finally get them to see how they have been eaten up,spat out and spat on,by Bush and Cheney and weak arse***s like Reid and Pelosi etc who agreed in secret meetings to bestsow BILLIONS of tax-payer dollars into the coffers of Bush and Cheney to contrive and secretly create the Iranian Nuclear threat and highly probale ATTACK on Iran(with or WITHOUT Israel,who are chomping at the bit for same thing,but can't DO IT WITHOUT US!)
Seymour,you are right,if Bush/Cheney launch their LONG-PLANNED-FOR attack on Iran under the ruse of Nuclear weaponry being present in Iran,THEN DEMOCRACY IS DEAD in America.
Besides,with all the abuse of the Bush 'DARK' House and all the veiled UNDEMOCRATIC secrecy throughout this WHOLE SHAM of an adminstration,I feel in my heart and mind that Democracy has been in a COMA,and politically MOOT already for long enough!
Between now and the next President,I would say,to ANY Admirals or Generals of our fine military,who know full well the LEGAL Rules of Engagement and are sick of being TOLD THEIR JOBS BY CORPORATE OIL MEN,if you guys decide that you cannot go along with the insanity of your'Commander'in chief,then GOOD FOR YOU! The majority of America's population AGREE WITH YOU!
Besides,you have to remember that in a Democracy of,by and for the people,the citizenry IS YOUR REAL Commander in Chief.Bush and Cheney are merely high public servant officials at the behest of the citizenry.
And right now,THE MAJORITY OF PUBLIC OPINION,says A BIG "NO", to an ILLEGAL AND UNFOUNDED,and UNJUSTIFIED war with Iran.
And to ALL Congresspersons.
After you have read Seymours frighteningly honest article,if you have the gall,humanity and humility to admit that you have been DUPED,by The White House,and know that you are heading in the direction of monarchical lunacy and further AWAY FROM American ideals,then we can forgive you and WORK WITH YOU to stop it and make sure it never happens again.
But,you guys must say NO,without this RIDICULOUS and totally UNFOUNDED fear of 'appearing weak'.
Do something WISE about it,before Bush,in his state of irrational denial,DECIDES IT MUST OCCUR!

Seymour Hersh's article cast light on a lot of SECRECY CRIMES within the White House(impeachable and censurable),and abuse of Congressional power,but none of the information was so SHOCKING,more's the pity.
It's ALL par for the course that Bush and Cheney are on.
And that is THE MOST FRIGHTENING THING.
That they are still allowed to follow THAT ILLEGAL COURSE!

BRAVO Seymour Hersh.Damn good Journalism Sir!
